Could a 12 handicapper....

I have a simple question:

Where is the proof that a blade actually hurts your score?


But, its hard to prove a negative though, no ?
Its not a scientifically verifiable fact. I'd say its more a causal relationship. I would have thought that, all things being equal (short game and putting), if someone's mishits are closer to the target then their score would be better. If I mishit a blade I may be in the front bunker, that slight mishit with a cavity could be on the front edge. I stress "could" because its hypothetical.

Ultimately people should play whatever they want and whatever makes them happy, I'd never tell anyone what they should or shouldn't play, but, in my opinion and from what I've seen, anyone who isn't an expert ball striker is leaving something behind on the course by playing blades. It might not be anything on a given round, but I'd bet over the course of a season or a few rounds there would be a difference. Why make the game harder ?

It does take a bit of time to make the transition away from blades though.
[/quote]
I don't find a blade nearly as damaging on misses as suggested by others. It really depends on where the trouble lies. Sometimes the trouble is exactly where the CB miss was. I also find the blade allows for better precision shots to escape from trouble and also to attack pins. In short a blade is not always making the game harder for me.

I don't need to transition from blades because I play both types nearly equally well and switch back and forth regularly. It takes time to transition to either type of club when the features are so different.

Deal with it? Lol everybody here could care less. You admittedly shoot anything from high 70s to mid 90s with both clubs so I'm not sure how you draw any score based conclusion only you play at a level where it doesn't matter what club you use.

[3jacker]

The difference between blades and CB is vastly overrated.
I've played both, many many sets for years. Started as a rank newb and
now at scratch. Blades aren't that much harder to hit. Maybe mentally, harder
to look down at a 3-iron at address and feel good about it until you've striped a
few. But the sweet spot is basically the same size, all things considered. A poorly hit (say, thin)
shot off a CIB will carry MARGINALLY further than a blade. I'm a feel player, and
also appreciate clean lines. I don't like playing based on the expectation that I'm going
to miss the ball, so I play blades more often than not.

Don't ever let some 10-hdcp'er on the internet tell you what you should play.
Play what you like.

See this is where this whole thread falls apart - because he up to now it has been all new fresh ideas - if you are going to have a car analogy you need the correct stereotypes

Blade/MB = Caterham | Lotus Elise: no driver aids, no awd, no flappy paddles. rwd, manual, naturally aspirated engine, lightweight just you and the experience of carving up the track, no "gimmicks" helping you to your slower times, then the driver in the GT3, but then it's not about lap times is it?

CB = 911 GT3: still rwd, still manual, still na engine, but maybe you'd like to not go spinning backwards into a hedge when your lack of talent and the limits of mechanical grip are about to meet. You still need to have the correct inputs, but it's less a handful, and most importantly to many, faster.

GI = Nissan GTR: you're wrapped up safely in electronic driver aids, 4wd, lots of shiney and plasticy bits to wow everyone. "Point and shoot" car. Super fast. Almost drives itself. But where is connection between the driver and road?

All Hybrids set = Prius | Minivan: what have you done man? Have you no shame. Please return your man bits and live out your life in silence

[dog flog]

For me, a big factor in chosing to play bigger, more forgiving irons is the amount, or lack thereof, of time I get to spend playing and practicing. If I can't or don't get out there often enough to find something resembling consistent, centred contact, I'll keep the blades and players' cbs on the back burner. When I did play and practice more often, I played always with the same set of (Cleveland TA5) irons, so I couldn't say if I would have been any worse off scorewise with smaller heads but my completely subjective opinion is that I really suspect the answer is no simply because those GI irons allowed me to hit good shots on good strikes and some pretty good shots on some pretty bad strikes.

Yes! A 12 can enjoy playing any of those irons, "IF" you love practice and don't take resulting struggles to be emotionally demoralizing, as many do. In other words, if you have the right frame of mind, you'll be fine. Some of us golfers actually enjoy challenging ourselves at every juncture.

PS: contemporary blades are NOT remotely as punishing as the older designs I learned with.

This thread is a Timex. It keeps on ticking.
I fluctuate between 0-3. I prodomatley play a fade. I can occasionally hit a draw. I sometimes play for one but my starting point is such that if I don't pull it off I will still be in a good spot.

So to play blades just to work the ball is not necessary I'm my opinion. Also, playing blades to get better? I've not seen that as a plausable reason. Get lessons and practice. That will help you get better than playing a certain type of club.

Having repeated what a lot have said and I will repeat again. Play what you want. If playing a certain iron design, driver or shaft makes you enjoy the game more that's all that matters. Not what others think.

I would not expect that switching to blades it will automatically make you a better ball striker who can work the at will.

[willboyrd]

Can you? Absolutely

Is it best for your score? You have no way of knowing without trying.

Although 99% of us take our golf equipment obsession and addiction to the paralyzingly desperate bowels of unnecessarily specific and minute details, the truth is most of our self-torment is probably for naught as far as what the scorecard adds up to at the end of 18 holes.

It is painful for me to write that because I am firmly (and have been for years) in the 99% that takes these arguments entirely to seriously.

I racked my brain with this over the summer because I went to a GI iron after years of playing split-cav type forged models because I thought I was making the responsible decision, but I just wasn't having as much fun and wasn't as excited looking at my clubs, whether it be cleaning them after a round, doing a WITB post, or looking down at them at address. So I said, "screw it, I don't play for anything besides love of the game anymore." and told myself, get something you'll enjoy.

So if playing something more compact and less forgiving makes you enjoy your time on the golf course fractionally more, I'm not so sure there is concrete evidence that your scores will deteriorate to the point where it will outweigh that increase in happiness.

It also stays alive because people cannot accept that another golfer may have had a different personal experience using a different type of iron. So those close minded folks believe lies and untruths are being told.

There is a lot of arguing around each others points in this thread. So much suckiness exists in a mid-cappers game that iron choice plays a minimal role in score. There was also an entire thread about the most important clubs in your bag, and there was no mention of irons, let alone type of iron. If your irons fit you reasonably (shaft, length, lie) it's POSSIBLE that it won't make much difference to your SCORE. Course management, short game, putting, driving, stretching, fitness, etc....... all are vastly more important to your score than iron type. blah blah blah blah blah, play what you like.

Congrats on purchasing the Nike Pro Combos. Those are as close as they get with a little more forgiveness than the VR Pros.

Couple things is make sure you find a shaft fitting that works for you if you dont get along with what ever is in there. The stocks I know are usually S300s

In any case have fun with those! Keep us in the loop how you play with them, they are a great tweener and you have lots of benifits of both MB and GI in those clubs!

We are going to lose it....... EVERYONE..... I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS TOPIC!!! We got some members coming out of the woodwork and some have some really good input. But I dont want this to get locked and I am sure the OP doesnt either.


The funniest part the OP posted something and only 1 person responded soooooo...... TIME OUT!!!!

Well anyway, in the interim I have brought some second hand Nike pro combo forged irons 3-pw which are already set up to my length and lie... Only paid £80

Nice choice, in fact I too play the Nike Vr Pro Combo, and I find it to have eveything I want in an iron as a low handicapper, also with the added benefit of a lot of things I think 99.99% of golfers need regardless of handicap. And they look darn sleek.

OP also here is a good thread for actual users of blades. You will find even more posts by golfers at all skill levels playing blades fine in it.

Also if you keep your CBs like Exactice advised and play them often in comparison to some blades, you may find that neither type of club impacts your score. It's hard to judge otherwise.
